Oldie but Goodie

An oil prospector, moving on to his heavenly reward, was metby St.Peter with some bad news. “You’re qualified for residence, “St. Peter said, “but as you can see, the compound for oil men ispacked. There’s no way to squeeze you in.” After thinking for a moment, the prospector asked if he mightsay just four words to the present occupants. That seemed harmless toSt. Peter, so the prospector cupped his hands and yelled, “Oildiscovered in Hell.” Immediately the gate to the compound opened and all the oilmen marched out to head for the nether regions. Impressed, St. Peterinvited the prospector to move in and make himself comfortable. Butthe prospector paused, then said: “On second thought, I think I’ll go along with the rest of theboys. There might be some truth to that rumor after all.”
